Cloud Security Architecture Assessment (CSAA)

The hardest challenge facing security and infrastructure teams is balancing business demand for deploying cloud services with protecting the enterprise from threats. As businesses rapidly move to the cloud, security leaders are struggling with a lack of visibility into their cloud infrastructure and getting a full understanding their cloud security posture. Leaders need to obtain a comprehensive view of the vulnerabilities that could disrupt operations. Providing stakeholders with a single view into vulnerabilities and remediation can enable the transition to a resilient cloud environment that scales to meet business demand at pace.

Optiv’s CSAA delivers security leaders a clear understanding of where their cloud transformation security stands and the steps to move forward both over the short and long term. The assessment is designed to rapidly identify and remediate cloud security issues including architectural complexity, misconfiguration, and overprivileged access. This engagement is focused on rapidly assessing your AWS environment’s security posture. Optiv assesses the security of your AWS environment through a proven methodology by leading several focused information gathering sessions and running an automated configuration scan. After all data is collected and reviewed, a deliverable is generated with findings, recommendations, and a remediation roadmap on how to improve your security posture in AWS. This culminates in a workshop to review findings, remediation roadmap, and provide guidance and education on best practices moving forward. These assessments typically take 3-5 weeks to complete.

The focused information gathering sessions cover the following domains and are held with key functional stakeholders in each domain:

• Architecture • Data Security and Governance • Identity and Access Management (IAM) • Legal/GRC • Threat Protection/Visibility • DevOps • Incident Response & Business Resiliency
